I feel like this is one of those books that’s a must read for the purpose of just growing your knowledge of the era and times of the Salem Witch trials and slavery in colonial America. Also a plus that it’s a wonderfully translated novel! Even though it’s translated, the text is beautiful and has lots of wonderful imagery. The character of Tituba is full of depth and I really enjoyed the route the author took with wrapping up Tituba’s unknown end of life.
